EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1920s, transports us back in time to the elegant Stoneleigh Courts Apartments located on Connecticut Avenue N.W. in Washington, D.C. The image showcases the main desk in the apartment building's lobby, where mail slots and a switchboard operator are prominently featured. The Stoneleigh Courts Apartments, designed by architect James G. Hill, were built during the 1920s and represented the height of luxury and sophistication in Washington D.C. The interior decoration and design were of the highest order, as evidenced by this photograph. The wooden main desk, with its ornate details and polished surface, exudes an air of refinement and professionalism. The mail slots, a common feature in apartment buildings of the era, allowed residents to conveniently receive their correspondence. The switchboard operator, poised behind the desk, was responsible for connecting residents with their calls, ensuring they remained connected to the outside world. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Washington D.C. and the United States during the 20th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the daily lives of the residents of the Stoneleigh Courts Apartments. The photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture.
